[Tone: light hearted joke, not a personal attack or seriously questioning you.]
Are you even autistic, bro?
[ This reminds me of getting yelled at while at work because I get stuck on the details ๐ฅฒ ]
If I am, it's incredibly mild. Mostly read this community because my son has extreme autism. He is 13, only says 1-3 word sentences, can't use the bathroom by himself (can go to bathroom and use toilet but can't put his underwear back on), watches TV way below his age bracket(blues clue, known as "blue" and team umizoomi, known as "bot") etc.
Anyways, size and type of screws would be important decisions to make, for example if mounting shelf to dry wall you wouldn't want an ultra fine threading on the screw. But it's not important in the first step. There's a good chance you actually need/want several types of screws. But the first step is meant to be quick and easy to give you the feeling of atleast doing something instead of paralyzed by the complexity of the whole task.
I'm sorry if my comment was hurtful, I was trying to be light hearted in the spirit of the meme.
The point I was trying to make is that just because something is illogical and even if we know it's illogical, doesn't mean we can just stop, ya know?
